Parallel vs series circuit. I'm somewhat confused on this part.
what LEDs are you picking? This is what makes LEDs tricky to work with, especially if you have never done it before

If you run it in parallel you will need a 9000ma driver @ 3.7v, if its in series you would need a 3000ma driver at @11.1

The easiest, safest and most efficient way to do it if you are running cree (or whatever brand) smd LED's is a driver per LED (or 3up)


How do you plan on housing the LEDs? Or focusing them behind the projector? How do you plan on keeping the insane heat down? Now you know why this isnt a cheap project
